“We lost all three relays,” Fredonia boys’ coach Bob Ball said. “It’s pretty tough to win a meet if you loss all three relays, but we made up for it in the field. We were also strong in the sprinting events. The points we lost in the relays, we made up elsewhere.”

Max Payne took the discus for the Hillbillies with his throw of 119-1 while Jacob Brown took first in the 1,600 (4:51.7) and Jon Saeli was first in the 400 (:56.3). Payne’s throw in the discus was his best of the season.

Lauren Reyda and Devin Kowalewski led the Lady Hillbillies (4-1) to a 106-34 win over Clymer-Sherman-Panama, as both won three events.

Reyda was first in the 800 (2:33), 1,500 (5:07) and 3,000 (12:05) while Kowalewski was first in the 100 hurdles (:17.1), long jump (15-8) and triple jump (32-0).

“They had a strong performance,” Fredonia girls’ coach Mike Marshall said. “We’re going to the Super 8 meet in Salamanca on Friday and we’re looking forward to our last league meet against Olean on Tuesday, which will help us get ready for the county meet on (May 24).”

Reyda also helped Gwen Stokes, Emily Wan and Jillian Kowalski win the 4×800 relay in a time of 11:27. Kowalewski’s leaps in the long and triple jump represented personal bests.

Also for the Lady Hillbillies, Ally Cobb won the 200 (:29.7) and 400 hurdles (1:13) while Stokes took first in the high jump (4-8), Cassidy Pchelka was first in the shot put (30-8) and Mikayla Oldenburg was first in the pole vault (7-0).
